This Swiss cheese is crafted in the canton of Appenzell, near the Austrian border. After it ages for approximately three months, Appenzeller achieves its ideal form: pressed, cooked-curd, brushed-rind cheese with occasional pea-sized holes. It has a pleasantly smooth texture, but this cheese's true allure is its fruity tang. In fact, Appenzeller pairs extremely well with fresh fruit; it melts nicely also.

I wanted to purchase 2 lbs, but they said that they only had 1/2 lb pieces. These four pieces were cut in very oddly shaped triangles that they were virtually unsuitable to slice for company. It was a rather disappointing surprise.

Appenzeller-the best cheese in the world!!!!!

Thank you for the great service. The Cheese arrived in perfect condition. And it taste as good as I remember when I tasted it in their showroom in Stein, Switzerland. You can be sure I will order again real soon.

Just so-so

From other's reviews I expected more. My husband and I love tangy cheeses and found this underwhelming.

So good, anytime.

We had this on our evening cheese plate last night. I had stashed away a couple of slices of it as not to be eaten then. I am eating it for breakfast this morning. The flavor is rather stong on the palat, but that is what makes it so delightful. In my opinion, it doesn't even need a cracker. Especially if eaten for breakfast.
